Now that the weather is warmer, why not take your workout outdoors? You don't have to spend your evenings and weekends at a gym or working out at home, and with these tips you can head outside, get a little exercise, and take your family or friends with you.

If you have a hard time convincing yourself or your family to go outside to get a little exercise, or you want to switch up your current routine and get outdoors, Wellness Junction has some suggestions. Some of them are simple, like suggesting children ride their bicycles alongside while you walk or jog. They also suggest making a point to give fitness-oriented gifts like bicycles, in-line skates, and other toys and gadgets that encourage outdoor activity.

One particularly useful tip is to stress is the importance of outdoor activity, and then doing it yourself to encourage family or close friends to join you. Signing up for rock climbing lessons yourself is a great way to try something new, take care of yourself, and entice friends and family to join you. Leading by example is more convincing than sitting around and telling someone else how important it is to get outdoors for some fresh air.
